High performance reverse flow design, superior
craftsmanship and a 3 year pump warranty are just a few of the features
on the Super Reef Octopus calcium reactors. If you are concerned about
calcium levels due to your calcium loving animals look no further than
our SRO calcium reactors. All SRO calcium reactors come with our high
water volume Water Blaster pumps which come standard with Silicone
Carbide shafts and bearings, this means no worries of moving parts
freezing up causing broken shafts. All SRO calcium reactors come with PH
probe holders to monitor PH inside the first chamber of the reactor. Equipped
with a PH probe holders to mount a PH probe to monitor Ph levels in the
main reactor chamber and built in bubble counters to monitor Co2 drip
rates. To help you meet the challenging task of maintaining
alkalinity, calcium and trace elements, consider adding a Super Reef
Octopus calcium reactor to your aquarium system.

How it works

A calcium reactor is essentially a chamber full of aragonite, which
is the crushed skeleton of ancient hard corals. Aquarium water is pumped
through this chamber along with pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2). The
CO2 lowers the pH in the chamber to an acidic level which dissolves
aragonite media into the aquarium water. In addition to dissolving the
calcium, this process also dissolves nearly all the minerals and trace
elements the coral used in order to grow.

When set up properly and used correctly, a calcium reactor can maintain
or increase calcium levels with little to no maintenance.
